Patent GB-190922499-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Friction Let-off for Looms.
Inventor: DUVAL HENRI
IPC: D03D49/08
Filed: 1909-10-02
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 22,499. Duval, H. Oct. 2. Letting-off warps.-A friction let-off motion comprises a spring box 1 secured to the loom frame below the warp roll and having at the top an opening, in which is loosely journaled the stem 2 of a hand-wheel 3, through which is threaded the shank of the lower hook 5, the lower end of this shank carrying an horizontal plate 6 travelling freely in the lower part of the spring box. Movement of the hand-wheel causes corresponding movement of the plate 6 and varies the tension of the coil springs in the box 1. An upper hook 9, adjustable vertically by a hand-wheel 12. is mounted at the top of the loom frame, the two hooks being connected by a chain or belt 18 passing over a guide-pulley 19 and wound several times about the spindle of the warp roll 20. To increase the friction on the warp roll, the lower hand-wheel is turned so as to raise the plate 6 and compress the springs, the slack thus caused in the chain being taken up by an equal adjustment in an upward direction of the upper hook. When a considerable amount of friction is required, an arrangement is employed comprising two or more hooks in place of the single upper and lower hooks, and a corresponding number of belts or chains and friction drums on the spindle of the warp roll.

Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 137. Frommer, R. Jan. 21, 1909, [Convention date]. Breech actions, sliding barrel and breech - block.- Relates to cartridge - feed mechanism for guns, in which the barrel and breechblock recoil together and by means of a pair of spring clips, mounted on a transverse slide, withdraw a cartridge from the holder, the cartridge being moved along the slide into alinement with the breech as the barrel alone returns. According to the invention, the cartridge is transferred, at the end of the recoil movement, to a second pair of clips on a slide, which is moved transversely in guides in the fixed casing, by the return of the barrel. Fig. 2 shows a sectional plan of the arrangement. The longitudinal slide 6, connected to the barrel projection 4, is provided with a groove 7, which actuates a slide 10 for a step-by-step motion to the cartridge belt, and a groove 8 which gives a transverse movement to the cartridge-carrier slide 13. The cartridge is withdrawn from the belt during recoil by pincers 15 and conveyed to clips 29, 30 on the slide 13. At the end of the recoil the breech-bolt is held in its rearward position by means of a catch, and, on the return of the barrel, a projection 14 on the slide 13 engages with the groove 8 and alines the cartridge with the breech. The cartridge is retained in the slide 13 by a catch 33 until released, by the action of an incline 37, during the transverse movement of the slide. The breech-bolt is released, when the barrel reaches its forward position, and rams the cartridge into the breech. The feed - mechanism is arranged in a hinged cover 38, Fig. 9, so as to be readily accessible, and the barrel may be easily removed, after opening the cover 38, by operating a rod 50 by means of a hand-lever 57.
